This mower is exactly what I hoped for. It powers through quite thick and heavy grass. I have a large lawn so I have to do some management of batteries (charge 1 while mowing with the other) but so far the trade-off is well worth not dealing with a gas engine. It is lightweight, strong, quiet, easy to clean, very easy to store (folds up small), doesn't smell, etc.
This machine is so powerful cut evenly, I had it for about 2 months but I gifted to my daughter and she loves it 1/4 of acres no problem. Thank you I also got a chainsaw 82 v 18 inches and it so much better than gas one that also works great .
Excellent mower with impressive power and durability

This is my first battery-powered lawn mower, and I'm truly amazed with how quiet and powerful it is. Before buying, I compared it with another popular brand. What sold me on this GreenWorks mower were (1) the steel deck, and (2) the brushless motor, which means durability and power. Our front lawn plus the sidewalk-to-curb strip is about 1,600 sqft total, and runs the battery down to about 50% to completely mow. I'm doubtful this could tackle a whole acre on a single charge, but it's more than enough for our needs, it cuts beautifully, and it's quieter than any gas-powered mower I've ever used. The only complaint I have about this mower is the handle assembly. There's a cord on one side of the upper (start) handle which you need to feed into the lower section of the handle, and it doesn't feel like there's enough room for it. They say to be very careful with that cord, but you basically have to force it in to get the handle to the point that the bolt holes line up. And then, you need to make sure the bolt doesn't damage the cord. I'd almost deduct a star for that, but everything else about this mower deserves high marks, so I'm sticking with the 5-star rating.
Great mower! Light weight, east to maneuver, cuts evenly. Can cut 7,500 sq ft on 80% of the 4AH battery using the self propel for about 20% of the cut. Pushing it without the self propel isn’t that much more difficult than pushing my spreader. Now if you can make a broadcast grass cutter you’d really have something! Easy to clean and store and no more annual oil changes with no fuel spills or carburetor problems.
I bought this to replace an older gas mower that was not starting and too heavy. Very pleased with this one. Powerful enough to work well on a fairly steep hillside, light enough to maneuver easily, variable speed works well, charges quickly and has enough charge to do most of my 1/2 acre lot. Larger battery doesn't slide in and out as easily as I'd have liked but that is a very minor complaint.
I’ve owned many lawn mowers over the past 40 plus years and my Greenworks Pro 80V mower beats all of them hands down. I mow over half an acre at my home and I have enough battery power to do the job without having to recharge in the middle of mowing. The lawn mower is easy to use but will give you an extra power boost if needed to get through the tougher and grassier areas of the yard. The added bonuses are no gas, no oil, no toxic fumes, and no loud engine. I couldn’t be more pleased with my new Greenworks lawn mower and look forward to using it for many years to come.

Got my lawnmower last week and it was very easy to set up. Mowed the lawn a couple of times and the battery was more than sufficient to mow just over 4000 sq feet of lawn with excess power and the pick up of clippings is much better than the gas powered mower I’m selling
